A journal of discovery and weightloss

It’s been weeks since I was able to work and will be returning tomorrow to see if I am able to do the physical labor involved with my job. I’m a little hesitant and apprehensive but NEED to get back to work for several reasons including financial and major boredom. I’m still coughing a fair amount and have little to no energy but need to work. Despite having a couple of fractured ribs from the severe coughing bouts I’ve endured, I’m pretty much back to fair health.

During my illness though, I have gotten a good lead on another job that is full-time but pays about the same per hour as what I make now as part-time. It’s also in another city which is sort of a downer but I was thinking I could maybe do both jobs and see how it goes. The other job is Monday – Thursday working 4-12hr shifts and all the overtime I want. My current job is part-time so I figured I could tell them I can work 2 days a week (Friday and maybe Saturday) then have a day off before going back to the full-time position on Monday. I guess I can see how it goes and if it doesn’t work out with the full-time job in the other city then I’d still have my part-time job that I love so much but just doesn’t give me enough hours to make it worth my while sitting around waiting for them to need me.

In other news, my weight has pretty much hit a road-block and I’m at an impasse. Neither up, nor down… 219.6lbs steady…. I’m SO not happy with this… that’s all I have to say about that for now…
